Meteor Shower

While I was on my way home from work, I saw 6 metors. The Dracnid, I do believe. I have never witnessed one, I Was In Awe......Can no to wait to see
tomorrow nights show, i f work permits...Please do!!!

i hope one day a meteror hits close enough to me and has enough mass(but not too much) so i can take it and hide it. i will then spend years in japan
learning the art of swordsmithing, after my journey i will come back and forge a sword from my hidden meteorite, i could then die knowing i have the
best sword in the world. i would name it

What you're seeing is the Geminid meteor shower.
It peaks at dawn today....it's nearly 2 am here in Northern Il , I have seen several but not enough to stay out in the cold,lol.
You'll be able to see some in the following days also.

When is the next warm one??

I'm not sure what you mean by warm one, but the shower going on now is the Geminids.

On this page is a lot of information about meteor showers and when they happen.

I just came in from 23 degree weather. Clear as a bell here and in about 15 minutes I saw 10+ meteors. It's so awesome - in the most literal sense.
It doesn't take long for them to pop up. Step out for a few mins and you're guaranteed to see one. If I had better equipment I would record some.
Sorry guys..

I did not get to see anything last night, as it was cloudy, and it will be tonight also.....DAMN.....I saw a bright one, it left a blue streak in the
sky, I was looking north, south, and west. It was so clear the other night, I even got out the binoculars, and layed on the trampoline for a while. It
was very cold, had carharts on and everything!!!! I wish I could record some stuff and put it on here.

What I meant to say when is the next metor shower when it will be warm outside.....didn't get the full thought on here sorry...But yes, you sound you
were pretty close to where I am, north-central Indiana. I woulda done anything to be at Lake Michigan that night. Oh well maybe the next one!!! Thank
you for the link for the other metor showers, it is very much appreciated.
